Kurosaki Ichigo in Konoha

"Hey, what are you thinking about?" Kurosaki Ichigo waved his hand in front of Nariko a few times before Nariko woke up from the imagination in his heart.

"Well," Nariko looked at Kurosaki Ichigo with a blushing face and asked, "We...where did we just talk?"

Kurosaki Ichigo slapped his forehead helplessly: "Didn't you say you thought of where to go next? Now that you have thought of it, tell me quickly."

"Ah, that's right" Naliko exclaimed, then quickly unfolded the scroll in her hand and searched for the contents.

Kurosaki Ichigo sighed and said nothing more. He sat cross-legged on the ground and began to use natural energy to conduct investigations. Although this method of investigation consumes a lot of money, fortunately, the thing he is not afraid of most is consumption, and there is nothing to do now, so I started to relax my spirit.

"Found it!" After an unknown amount of time, Nariko shouted excitedly. Kurosaki Ichigo suddenly opened his eyes and found Nariko holding a scroll in one hand and pointing to the densely packed text on the scroll that was smaller than ants. Look at yourself.

Seeing Kurosaki Ichigo open his eyes, Nariko put the scroll in her hand in front of him, pointed at the text she found and said: "Look here, it's written on it..."

"Don't worry about what's recorded for now," Kurosaki Ichigo stood up and said with a cold look, "A small group of ninjas are already approaching here. According to the speed, they will arrive here in 15 minutes."

"Oh...oh, I got it." Compared to the calm Kurosaki Ichigo, Nari, who has not felt the pressure of being hunted in the past few days, immediately panicked and panicked when she heard that someone was about to catch up. After marking the words he found on the scroll and rolling up the scroll, Kurosaki Ichigo had packed up everything else and was destroying the traces of the two people's stay here.

However, just when the work of eliminating traces was about to be completed, Kurosaki Ichigo suddenly frowned. He just checked again and found that the team chasing him was moving much faster than before for some reason. It's less than two kilometers away from here in just 5 minutes.

"Damn it!" Ichigo Kurosaki cursed in his heart. He knew that although he had not finished the cleaning work, once the distance between the two parties was reduced to one kilometer, his whereabouts would definitely be sensed, so Ichigo Kurosaki Without saying a word, he stopped what he was doing, grabbed Naliko and carried the girl on his back, then jumped onto the big tree next to him and hurried towards the south.

Naliko screamed unexpectedly, and then asked: "Hey, it seems that you haven't finished it yet, you just left like this."

Kurosaki Ichigo nodded: "It's too late. I didn't expect the other party to be so fast. Anyway, the work of eliminating traces is basically completed, so I just leave it to fate."

Saying this, Kurosaki Ichigo turned into a black shadow and disappeared among the dense woods.

two kilometers away.

Kensuke Tomioka felt that he was very unlucky. Going on a mission so close to the war would have been a headache for him, but he didn't expect that he would be faced with such a troublesome mission. He didn't know who Kurosaki was the target of this pursuit. , after nearly two days of searching, no clues were found that could trace his whereabouts.

Moreover, the captain of this mission is none other than Senju Tobirama's disciple Koharu Koharu. Even though Koharu Koharu is a woman, she is much stricter than most men when performing tasks. Didn't I just get scolded so badly at noon?

"Captain, let's rest for a while." Tomioka Kensuke and his group were jumping and marching in the woods. At this time, Konuma Kuniiso, who was at the back and wearing a cat-face mask, said breathlessly, although he couldn't see his face. Face, but I can still imagine Konuma Kuniso looking like he is sweating profusely now.

Kensuke Tomioka glanced back. He knew that Konuma Kunijio had the worst physical fitness in this team because he was a perceptual ninja. In addition, maintaining his senses during this period of rapid march was very expensive, so He could only nod his head: "Okay, everyone get off the tree and move forward slowly."

"Yes" Tomioka Kensuke's three subordinates responded in unison, and then jumped off the branch. Although they had to continue moving forward, they were finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Don't let your guard down, be sure to pay attention to whether there are any people around you," Kensuke Tomioka shouted with a cold face.

"Yes," Akasaka Kuma, an ANBU wearing a bird mask behind Kensuke Tomioka, twisted his neck and complained lazily: "But don't hold out any hope, captain, if we could find clues, we would have found them long ago. It's still useful." Do you want to wait till the time comes for the captain to get angry?"

"Yes," Sudou Haru, who was wearing a cat mask like Onuma Kuniiso, helped, "I don't know what Kurosaki's background is. Shimura-kun clearly said that he is just a chuunin, but his ability to escape is even better than our ANBU. Be strong."

Akasaka Bear nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, I was quite surprised when I first saw that the members of this mission were all jounin. I felt that just to capture a chuunin, I didn't need an ANBU jounin. Such a lineup Even if I go out to assassinate a big name, I can easily catch him. I didn't expect that I can't really defeat this kid."

Tomioka Kensuke didn't speak, but Konuma Kuniso, who had calmed down quite a bit, joined in on the topic: "I've heard of Kurosaki, and it's said that he has a great background."

Suto Haru turned his head to look at Onuma Kuniso and asked: "Kuniiso, do you know this Kurosaki?"

"Yes, I've heard something." Onuma Kuniso nodded, "I have cooperated with the team of the transfer captain when I was in Mito-kun's team. At that time, Kurosaki was a member of the transfer team."

"What?" Akasaka Bear said in surprise, "Wait, wait, doesn't this mean...that Kurosaki used to be a member of ANBU?"

"That's right, and as far as I know, this Kurosaki is one of the first members of ANBU. He joined when the Second Hokage first formed ANBU." Onuma Kuniiso's next words even surprised Shuto Haru and Akasaka Kuma. Well, you must know that in their team, except for the elite Jonin Tomioka Kensuke who serves as the captain, Onuma Kuniiso is the senior one, but even so, he is only the first person to be transferred from the intelligence team to the ANBU. There are only three batches of members. Unexpectedly, Kurosaki is the legendary first batch of members. You must know that those first batch of members have basically become high-level members of the advisory group.

Akasaka Kuma stammered: "This... this, this, this... is impossible, how could the first members of ANBU still be chunin until now?"

"Yeah, you're not lying to us, are you, Kuniiso?" Sufujikawa's face hidden under the mask also said with suspicion, "The first batch of ANBU members have been mixed up until now, even if they don't join the advisory group, they won't even be able to become jounin." You can’t even be considered worthy of it.”

Onuma Kuniji shook his head and said: "I don't know about this, but I heard Mito-kun mention that this Kurosaki seems to be from the Uchiha clan, and his strength is not very outstanding."

"It turned out to be a guy who used the back door." Akasaka Bear nodded clearly, "It seems that he is still a guy from the Uchiha clan."

Shutou Haru's face also turned from surprise to disdain: "If the Uchiha clan is right, those cowardly guys who are afraid of death are quite good at this trick."

Onuma Kuniji looked at the two colleagues with mocking voices and thought for a while. In the end, he just smiled bitterly and said nothing more. He also knew that Senju Tobirama established the Konoha Guard a few years ago in order to stabilize the political power and win over the Uchiha clan. After the army allowed the Uchiha clan to hide comfortably in the village and not perform tasks, many civilians and ninjas from small families were dissatisfied, but they did not expect that their two colleagues were also among the dissatisfied.

"Hehe," Sudou Haru said with a sarcastic smile, "How is the Uchiha clan now? They were so high-profile at first, but now they are driven to the corner of the village by the Second Hokage to stay with criminals."

Akasaka Bear also gloated: "That's right, no wonder this guy Kurosaki wants to defect. He is probably dissatisfied with the village and feels that he can no longer enjoy the privileges."

"Shut up!" Tomioka Kensuke, who had been moving forward quietly, suddenly shouted coldly, startling Akasaka Kuma and Suto Haru who were still excited.

Kensuke Tomioka stopped and turned around to look at Akasaka Bear and Shuto Haru coldly. His cold eyes made the two of them feel guilty. Only then did they remember that they were talking about the Uchiha clan that they could not afford to offend: "Remember, ANBU will not let incompetent people sneak in. If that Kurosaki is really as bad as you think, then we won't stay here like headless flies for two days without finding any clues."

"Yes" the two men quickly lowered their heads and stood up straight in agreement.

Tomioka Kensuke glared at the two of them again, then turned around and continued: "Okay, don't have any more unnecessary exchanges, find Kurosaki first, otherwise you will be reprimanded by the dormitory captain again when you go back. .”

About 10 minutes later, Tomioka Kensuke and his team came to a small piece of flat land where Kurosaki Ichigo and Nariko had stayed before. Tomioka Kensuke looked around, and then pointed to the small river not far away: "Akasaka, you Go get some water. This is a good place to rest. Shuto and I will search the area carefully. Kuniji, you can rest for a while. If nothing is found here, you will need to sense it when you are on your way later. .”

"I understand, Captain Tomioka." Onuma Kuniiso responded, then sat cross-legged under the tree and began to restore chakra.

Akasaka Kuma consciously went to fetch water with four kettles, and Sudou Harunori and Tomioka Kensuke divided into two directions to search here.
